Amina and the Magical Talking Adventure

Amina and the Magical Talking Adventure

BY: Ubaid

In the small village of Chamanpur, Hyderabad, there lived a sweet little girl named Amina. She was known for her kind heart, respect for her parents, and love for her teachers. Everyone in the village admired her good manners and gentle nature. However, Amina had one habit that troubled everyone around her—she talked constantly. No matter where she was or what she was doing, Amina could not stop talking. Her parents, teachers, and even friends tried to advise her to speak less, but she simply couldn’t help herself. Talking seemed like a part of who she was.

One sunny morning, as Amina was walking to school, she noticed something unusual on the path. A beautiful, pure-white rabbit was hopping along, looking very friendly. Amina was immediately captivated. She picked up the rabbit gently and began talking to it. She shared her thoughts, stories, and even the little secrets of her heart, as though the rabbit were an old friend. By the time she reached her school, she was still chatting away with the rabbit in her arms.

When she entered her classroom, her classmates gasped in surprise. They had never seen such a beautiful rabbit before. “Where did you get it?” one of them asked. Just then, their teacher, Miss Anwari, walked in. Seeing the rabbit, she raised her eyebrows in astonishment. “Who brought this rabbit?” she asked.

Amina, feeling nervous, explained the entire story to her teacher. Miss Anwari smiled gently and said, “Alright, you may bring it today, but starting tomorrow, you should leave it at home.” Amina nodded in agreement, though a little disappointed.

On her way back home, Amina continued talking to the rabbit. She told it about her school day, her friends, and even what she had eaten for breakfast. Suddenly, she realized something alarming: the path she was walking on was no longer leading to her home. Panic set in, and she started crying loudly. “How will I ever get home now?” she thought.

Before she could react further, the rabbit transformed before her eyes into a terrifying giant. It spoke in a deep, booming voice: “Finally, I’ve found the girl who talks endlessly. Now, I will take you to my king. He is always happy to listen to someone as talkative as you.”

Amina froze in fear and started crying even harder. The giant rabbit gestured, and immediately a large chest appeared before her. Before she could even ask what was happening, she was lifted and placed inside the chest. The lid was locked with only a small hole for air.

The giant rabbit carried the chest to another world, a strange and mystical place, and presented it to the king. “Your Majesty,” said the creature, “I have brought a radio for you, as you requested.”

The king looked puzzled. “I thought humans had a machine called a radio that talks all the time,” he explained. “I wanted to hear one here in my kingdom.”

The rabbit had explained to Amina earlier that the king did not understand that radios only work in the human world. She was told not to reveal that she was a human and not a real radio. So, she stayed silent inside the chest as the king commanded, “Play the radio.”

Amina began talking non-stop. She described everything she knew, every little story, and every thought she had in her mind. The king listened with delight. He had never heard someone speak so much or so continuously. Hours passed, and Amina’s talking showed no sign of stopping. Eventually, exhaustion, hunger, and thirst overwhelmed her, and she fainted.

The king, noticing that the “radio” had stopped working, called the giant. “The radio has stopped,” he said, worriedly.

The giant panicked, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty! I will fix it immediately!” He carried the chest back to the same path where he had found Amina. Opening the chest, he saw her pale and unconscious. He splashed water on her face, fed her, and gave her water to drink. Amina slowly regained consciousness but was terrified.

The giant asked her to lie back in the chest again, but she cried loudly, refusing to be trapped once more. At that moment, a villager appeared nearby. Seeing her distress, he ran to her and shouted, “Look, that giant is trying to kidnap her!” When he looked around carefully, there was no giant and no chest—only Amina and the familiar path leading home.

The kind villager escorted Amina safely back to her house. The frightening adventure had changed her. From that day onwards, Amina spoke less, only when necessary. Her family and friends noticed the change and began to love her even more than before. Her endless talking had transformed into thoughtful conversation, and she learned the value of listening as well as speaking.

And so, Amina grew up to be a girl who knew when to talk and when to be quiet, bringing joy and respect to everyone around her. The adventure had taught her that while talking was fun, sometimes silence spoke louder than words.
